California State Games - Big physical body, certainly has the look of a player you will find at a corner on a college team. The arm is strong, plays above average both from 3B and in the OF and all of that is great. However, it's the hitting talent that shines brightest, such as it should be for a corner position player. The EVs are strong, the bat speed and Blast metrics are good, and he backed it up in game play with impact contact, including one of the two home runs hit at the event, a BOOMING fly ball to left-center that went halfway up the net and was on the way to the football field.
